White Finch Bakery — Restaurant in Gravesham

Lovely selection of cakes and pastries – all home-made. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The cheese and herb scones were absolutely delicious and really substantial. Really nice cups of coffee and they cater for people with food intolerances. Our only criticism – we arrived on a cold and very rainy day and the building has a very high ceiling and was sooooooo cold!! They do have a large log burner, but it wasn’t working. Virtually everybody was eating wearing their coats and both my daughter and I, and also two other couples tried to diplomatically mention this to members of staff, but it did fall on deaf ears. Definitely worth bearing in mind if you don’t go in the summer. But all in all it was lovely and we will...

Can’t wait for the traditional...

I visited this charming tea room for the first time today with my mum. I had rung in advance to ask if we should book but was unable to get through.
